As you pass from the tender years of youth into harsh and embittered manhood, make sure you take with you on your journey all the human emotions! Don't leave them on the road, for you will not pick them up afterwards!

Забирайте же с собою в путь, выходя из мягких юношеских лет в суровое ожесточающее мужество, забирайте с собою все человеческие движения, не оставляйте их на дороге, не подымете потом!

Nikolai Gogol

Another quote from the 1840s

Oh! but he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire, secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.

The vague, crepuscular time; the time of regrets that resemble hopes, of hopes that resemble regrets, when youth has passed, but old age has not yet arrived.
